January 5, 2013 – Melaque Bay Our beach here is quite nice, and it is framed by rocky headlands to make a very pretty bay.

January 3, 2013 – The Birthday Boys (Steve, Jesus, and 2013) December 23 is my birthday, and about a week before, we had discovered a beachside terrace restaurant that has live music in the evenings. December 23 was listed as Blues Night, which is my favorite, so we planned to spend a quiet evening together

December 22, 2012 – The Old Men and The Sea I’ve been wanting to go out fishing ever since we got here, but the boys went out the day we arrived here, and I had to wait for the next time around. That’s today! Four of us from the villa (Bob, Joe, Terry, and yours
December 19, 2012 – An Unexpected Journey So there we were, sitting around minding our own business, when Kelly and Cheryl called up wanting to know if we would like to go on a driving adventure northwards. After a millisecond to consider it, we said “yes!” and an hour later we were all packed up
December 15, 2012 – Horseshoes on the Beach We’ve had invites several times to go a-horseshoeing, but we’ve just been too darn busy nest-building. But now we’re not, so it’s time to see what this is all about. Deb is off doing Pilates but intends to join up as soon as she’s done, so I
December 13, 2012 – Paint Your Alligator Deb has heard about another festival/event/happening that is taking place on Tuesday night down at the zocalo (central park with gazebo) in Villa Obregon, an adjoining town east of Melaque. It appears to be another part of the Festival of Guadalupe, which pretty much fills up the first
December 11, 2012 – Snake Patrol Another beautiful day in the neighbourhood, and we’re off to Barra de Navidad, a beach community just 2 km down the beach, 5 km by road. The plan is to meet up with our friends Jack and Irma and to mooch around Barra for the day. We decided to
December 10, 2012 – Nestbuilding Day Woke up to our first full day in Mexico, it’s warm, the sky is blue, and life is good. Except. Debbi has a determined look in her eye, which usually means lots of work for Steve. Time to go and buy all the groceries and housewares we’ll need to
December 8, 2012 Woo Hoo! Touchdown! Well, we survived another trip to Mexico without any major foo-foos. Got to the Westjet counter at 04:51 because we wanted to be first in line with all our extra bags, and we were. The very nice lady at the counter tried about 20 times to print out our
December 4, 2012 – the trailblazer is no more Yesterday, a nice man came and took the Trailblazer away. Well, actually, I had to drive it to Vernon for him, but it sounds better the first way. It’s going into semi-retirement, as he will be parking it at his lakeside cottage in Ontario, and it
